4. You must turn the selector back to the MRES position again within 3 seconds.
The memory reset will now be performed.
The SIMOTION D410-2 has completed the memory reset when the RUN/STOP LED is
steadily yellow.
Note
Memory reset is canceled if you do not return the mode switch to MRES as specified within
3 seconds. Repeat the procedure in this case.
5. Now move the mode switch back to the required operating mode.
NOTICE
Unintentional restoration of the default settings instead of memory reset
Note that the MRES position (switch setting 3) during power-up causes the default settings
to be restored. See Section Restoring the default settings for the SIMOTION D410-2
(Page 237).
Make sure you do not accidentally switch the power supply OFF/ON in the MRES selector
setting, as this restores the default settings instead of performing the desired memory reset.

Deleting user data on CompactFlash card

Overview
Deletion of the user data from the CompactFlash card is necessary, for instance, if you wish
to load another (new) project to the CompactFlash card and therefore find it necessary to delete
the existing user data for an "old project" (e.g. unit data sets) from the CompactFlash card.
You can delete the user data with SIMOTION SCOUT. The SIMOTION D410-2 must be
operating in online mode. The following data is deleted:
● User data from the "volatile data" area
● Non-volatile data, with the exception of IP and DP parameters
● User data on the CompactFlash card (user directories), including the SINAMICS
configuration
You can still go online to SIMOTION D410-2 at your PG/PC. The licenses on the CompactFlash
card are retained.
